07/03/17 Day Four - Park City - Mirror Lake

Early Monday we ran over to the outlet mall and found Bryce some shoes for his birthday.  Everyone else found some too.

We had a house full of everyone (except Dallas and McK who had to work and couldn't make it up to PC this year sadly), and it was the only day that would be the case so we piled into the 300s (Aj's and ours) and headed up to Mirror Lake.

The drive up there is about an hour or so and is beautiful.  The temperature dropped quite a bit as we climbed the mountain.  When we got to mirror lake (over 10,000 ft) it was actually almost chilly and breezy.  Much windier than past visits.  Also WAY crowded.  The parking lot was full and overflowing!!!

We were able to find a spot and drag our lunch over to a picnic table and have sandwiches and chips and cookies by the lake.  Then we walked around the lake to "our spot" where we waded in to the FREEZING water and played for a little while.  There is something so peaceful and calming about being in the beautiful lake in the mountains.

After playing we headed down the hill and right to the swimming pool (already wet and dressed for it, right?!)

AJ had to go home for a date and work but the rest of us played and had fun.  Marlee and Bryce went over to the outlet mall and bought Marlee a pair of sneakers. For dinner we got pizza hut stuffed crust pizzas. After dinner we played a game Marlee had recently gotten about puns...Puns aren't my thing and I was terrible at it but the others had fun and made some silly puns.

Bryce had to work 8a - 4p on 4th so they headed home to sleep in their own beds.

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired ...

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a ...
